Three Arrested Following Rolling Shootout Near I-43

Three people were arrested Tuesday following a shootout that ended with a crash on I-43 northbound at Dean Road, the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department confirmed.

The shooting started off of the freeway, and one of the two vehicles involved sped away, entered I-43 northbound, and slammed into the median wall before coming to a rest in the ditch on the side of the highway at Brown Deer Road.

No one was injured, but the driver and two passengers in that vehicle were arrested.

Sheriff's deputies are still searching for the second car--a gray sedan--involved in that shootout.

"Multiple independent witnesses report seeing a weapon brandished from a second vehicle immediately prior to this incident," said Milwaukee County Sheriff's Deputy Inspector Edward Bailey.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department at (414) 278-4766.
